Great stuff guys thumb Would be interested to know how any unmodded Coupes got on with that kind of thrashing opportunity? Just in case the wife has not authorised funds for the uprated Turbo and clutch in time for next year!

My standard did ok.I drove it hard for two laps and i was very happy with it.It stopped ok,and pulled excellenty.
I found that because my suspension is old and standard i could not brake late enough to carry good speed around the tight corners and then acheive high speed on the staights.I managed about 100 plus on the pit staight.But imo i think with more expierience of the track i could get faster being standard.Sparco could easily go faster than me if he drove my car.But as i had to go on holiday last week aswell i thought i had better save it.Imo high powered brakes make you go faster.

I had my two children in the car and had to be a "sensible parent" but I was impressed however I having been driving it down the autobahn for the past three years or so if you know what I mean.

To be honest i was watching the rev counter really.
Gill says i was at least 120 on the pit straight.
I was more worried about stoping.Great craic and even more great making new friends.

I *think* in no.2 i had just outbroke and gone down the inside of that Lamborghini, going into the bus stop chicane! I like that photo as well.

Judging by the state of those slicks after the track sessions, i think i probably did melt them.

I also like no.6, shame the back wheel didn't come off the floor - must go faster next time -

Matt how do you put them on here he sent me some too but like you i can't make my mind up. If i could e-mail them to someone and they could put them up for me that would be brilliant.

I think number 2, but maybe do some photo shopping and remove the indicator being on, meaning you were letting the faster car through wink

Yeah i think the indicator was because i was pulling into the pits or i knocked it on while grappling with steering wheel because he definitly didn't go past me. I think the photographer will be able to get rid of that.

1 - 3 - 6 - 7.

I've asked for the originals of my car so I can play around with them before having them finished on canvas.

I have uploaded Sparco's pictures.

What do you think of these;

1. click to enlarge 2. click to enlarge 3. click to enlarge 4. click to enlarge 5. click to enlarge 6. click to enlarge 7. click to enlarge 8. click to enlarge 9. click to enlarge 10. click to enlarge 11. click to enlarge 12. click to enlarge

The ones that stand out for me are 4 and 8.

It would be interesting to see if there are any more photographers that have photos, i've tried looking but can't find any at all.

Good photos though, Marco's car looks like it's going sideways in some photos (which it probably was).

Have to say, watching your car going round was a treat Marco. It looked great and sounded even better, and was clearly very very fast
